We finished the Consolation pool play ranked 9th amongst the active teams. Our reward is the Makedonija U21 squad. Our goal is to advance, not to win this tournament. In order to advance, we will try our best with the squad available, so please those of you with players on the team make sure to have gameshape managed effectively this week.
If Chile and Costa Rica lose, we will be the last Americas team left in the tournament. I believe we can get to the last 8 if we play smart, and top 4 if we get some decent fortune and see both of these teams lose early. We are the 11th best squad in this tournament in terms of talent, so finishing above that would be my goal no matter what.
